I have read some amazing blogs just now. I am surrounded by incredible wives, women, brothers, sisters, husbands, men, friends, co-workers, neighbors... I drove through my neighborhood on my quad today on my way to the little house I've been working on all summer. Down the street there is house with a flag pole and upon the top there flies our nations flag. It's funny how seeing one thing can begin a thought process that takes you somewhere completely off topic from the original thought... have you ever done that? The trick is to stop the thought process and see if you can take it from where you are BACK to where it began... that will make you laugh. Anyways, I saw the flag, had the wind blowing in my face, driving home from a productive day and thought to myself; man!! what a great coutnry we live in. Despite the turmoil, the darkness that reigns in some parts of the world, country, state and county-- here on this street in this moment I felt completely happy. I breath fresh air into healthy lungs, on a clean street, where I get to vote, and worship whomever I please, own land, work freely. I woke up at 9am after a late night staying up with the kids. I didn't have to get to a "JOB", I got to choose what I wore, what I ate for breakfast. I just had a moment where I thought, I am so blessed. I just wanted to recognize it, enjoy it, praise my Lord for it. I know this isn't that exciting for being gone for 7 months. But it's a start today.

THis set of pictures give you NO IDEA about the effort it's taken to make this progress with this one project and there have been a dozen that are all this big!! hhaha It is super gratifying for me to show the progression. SOON a finished picture of the tub. but I may save it for the open house. or at least an album. :) Thanks for stopping by.
